I'm running a contact analysis on an assembly (15 piece parts). The 'quick check' is taking a massive amount of time...6+ hrs and I've stopped it several times. I see in the 'checkpoints log' that it's iterating and has a "residual norm tolerance" of 1e-12 and the iterations are trying to coverge down to this tiny number. Now, I do have some Agem of '1/8" max. element size' in some cbores and have Agem 'exclude components' that I'm not interested in results (such as the underneath mounting structure).
Can I "exclude" components that have loads/constraints applied to them? Loosen accuracy...where is this 1e-12 coming from?
How do I govern the model such that "quick check" runs "quickly"?
Thanks,
Sean
